Big boat, little boat
Posted: May 23, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized 9 CommentsStill testing out the hand•book journal today by throwing on lots more wash. No delicate ink lines with light dabs of paint. This is a heavy-duty loaded brush, many layers of paint type sketch. Still holding up and keeping the sharp lines where you want them.

Love it. Lots of spontaneity here. Which is an engaging approach for rendering what I always see as precise shapes (boat hulls I mean). You can really see how this paper takes the paint in a different way.

Thanks Alison. I am trying to work looser. Boat hulls are so precise but I was trying not to get too caught up in the precision.

Your sketch lines are loose, your watercolors are also loose. Put together, everything comes to life wonderfully. That’s exactly what I like about your sketches. Free, loose and yet precise.

You gave that page quite the workout! The paper seems to have two sides – one is more mat and absorbant than the other side.

I guess I will have to try the other side. Yes, I did give this an industrial-strength workout! See you on Sunday Jen.
